Nice video but it's a shame you didn't show any cars from the museum. I remember visiting about 30 years ago and one car in there I'll never forget was a Hispano Suiza made for an Indian maharaja to go hunting tigers I think. The car was massive with huge headlamps and a very rare car indeed, I wonder where it is now.
I had enjoyed that museum when I visited back in 1976. I remember their Bugatti, as it was the first one I had ever seen in real life. But I guess with the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, this museum sort of fell by the wayside. I visited Gaydon last month on my most recent visit to the UK.
Yeah, the Island Cafe (Now a restaurant of modernistic neutral appearance) was an icon, Coca Cola signs, confirming that you were entering Stratford. Looking upward, a large Esso sign could be seen, below, more red & white, don't know what it is now, but it's a neural green colour. As you drive into Stratford, the road is lined with corporate shops and clogged with cars going to them. As you said, sadly, not recognisable. But...... there's All About Toys In the old Stratford Blue Garage.
Wow love the views of the towns back then, Warwick at the end, West end garage looked good,nice to see,

To be honest, I don't recall there being any full sized cars in there. The model cars are featured.
